Description
Even with the rise of modern audio technology, clockwork music boxes are still popular among the upper class. Music boxes are used as decorative items in upper-class estates, and are a common gift among the elite. Music boxes can come in a variety of shapes and designs, and are mostly designed to play one or two songs. The music that is played by music boxes can vary from traditional pieces to modern popular music.

Music boxes are particularly popular among the humans for two main reasons. First of all, clockwork machinery has a religious significance in the Church of the Great Craftsman, the primary religion of the human population. Secondly, some groups discovered that clockwork devices create a magic dampening area around them. Humans who know about clockwork’s inhibitive properties put music-boxes and other clockwork devices around their homes, so any fae who manages to sneak into their house would not be able to do magic on the residents or their belongings. Of course, the upper class, want to keep their attempts to suppress magic from the fae and the lesser species, so most who know about this secret tend to play off the use of clockwork as an aesthetic choice.
